Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, but not all, embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
Referring to fig. 1, a schematic structural diagram of a photovoltaic string fault detection system provided in an embodiment of the present invention is shown, and as shown in fig. 1, the system includes a service server, a database, and a photovoltaic string; wherein, be provided with data acquisition device on every photovoltaic group cluster.
One photovoltaic group string is formed by connecting a plurality of photovoltaic modules in series and/or in parallel; a plurality of photovoltaic groups are connected in series-parallel and/or series to form a photovoltaic array.
In one embodiment of the invention, data is read from the cache database faster than the persistent database, and thus, the databases in the system may include both the persistent database (e.g., Mysql database) and the cache database (e.g., Memcached database). The service server can directly read data from the buffer database to improve the data reading speed and further improve the fault detection speed.
The data acquisition device acquires operation data of the photovoltaic string, such as current, voltage and the like, and transmits the acquired operation data to the service server. And the service server stores the operation data of each photovoltaic group string in the system into a database. When fault detection is needed, the service server reads the operation data of the photovoltaic group string to be detected from the database and executes a corresponding fault detection method.
In addition, the system also realizes the checking of the position information of each device and the positioning of the failed photovoltaic string by utilizing a GPS positioning system, and after the service server judges the failed photovoltaic string, the service server sends the position information of the failed string to the mobile terminal, thereby displaying the specific position of the failed string on the mobile terminal.
The following describes in detail a process of the service server for detecting a fault of the photovoltaic string.
Referring to fig. 2, a flowchart of a method for detecting a fault of a photovoltaic string according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown, where the method is applied to a service server in the system shown in fig. 1. As shown in fig. 2, the method may include the steps of:
and S110, acquiring a preset number of string currents of the photovoltaic string to be detected, which are acquired in a specified time window.
The photovoltaic string to be detected is any one photovoltaic string in the photovoltaic power generation system.
Each photovoltaic group string in the photovoltaic system has a unique identifier, and when the operation data of the photovoltaic group string is stored in the database, the unique identifier corresponding to the photovoltaic group string is correspondingly stored. And searching the operation data corresponding to the photovoltaic string from the database according to the unique identifier of the photovoltaic string. In this embodiment, the operation data of the photovoltaic string is mainly current data.
In this embodiment, the string currents corresponding to the same photovoltaic string at different times need to be obtained, for example, the string currents of the same photovoltaic string within a certain specified time window.
The time length of the designated time window can be set according to actual requirements, and the accuracy of the detection result is higher after the number of the string currents reaches the preset number, so that the setting of the designated time window needs to ensure that the same photovoltaic string contains the preset number of string current data in the designated time window.
The preset number may be determined according to a specific algorithm, for example, 20.
And S120, judging whether the photovoltaic string to be detected is abnormal or not according to the current of the preset number of strings. If the abnormality exists, executing S130; if there is no abnormality, S160 is executed.
In an embodiment of the present invention, whether the photovoltaic string to be detected is abnormal may be determined based on the outlier detection algorithm and according to the preset number of string currents in the specified time window, as shown in fig. 3, the specific determination process is as follows:
and S121, calculating LOF (local abnormal factor) values corresponding to the preset number of group string currents based on an outlier detection algorithm.
The outlier detection algorithm may be a LOF algorithm, which determines whether each point p is an abnormal point by comparing the density of the point with the density of the field point, and if the density of the point p is lower, the more likely the point p is an abnormal point. Wherein the density is calculated by the distance between the points, and the farther the distance between the points is, the lower the density is; the closer the distance between the dots, the higher the density. The LOF algorithm calculates the density by calculating the k distance of points in the domain, not by calculating the whole situation.
In this embodiment, for a preset number of group string currents within a set time window, an LOF value is calculated by using an LOF algorithm, and whether abnormal points exist in the group string currents can be determined according to the LOF value.
In this embodiment, the k distance may be set as a mean value of distances from the k neighboring points to the central point.
And S122, calculating logarithmic values of LOF values corresponding to the preset number of group current.
Because the calculated LOF value may be relatively large, the lg calculation is performed on the LOF value, and after the lg calculation is performed, the absolute numerical value of data can be reduced, and the calculation amount is reduced.
S123, judging whether the logarithm value is larger than 1; if the logarithm value is greater than 1, perform S124; if the logarithmic value is less than or equal to 1, S125 is performed.
The LOF value calculated according to the LOF algorithm is smaller than 1, which indicates that the density of the point is higher than that of the neighborhood point, and the point is a dense point; if the LOF value is greater than 1, it indicates that the density of the point is less than that of its field point, the point may be an outlier.
After lg operation is carried out on the LOF value, the lgLOF is less than 0, which indicates that the point is a dense point; a larger lgLOF value than 0 indicates that the point is an abnormal point. However, considering that the current data of the photovoltaic string also decreases when the cloud layer is shielded, but the drift speed of the cloud layer is relatively high, and the current of the photovoltaic string rapidly rises, the situation is not considered to be an abnormal situation, and therefore the judgment standard is amplified from 0 to 1.
And S124, determining that the photovoltaic string S124 to be detected is abnormal.
And if lgLOF is more than 1, determining that the photovoltaic string to be detected is abnormal.
And S125, determining that the photovoltaic string to be detected is normal.
And if lgLOF is less than or equal to 1, determining that the photovoltaic string to be detected is normal. And continuously judging whether the string current at the next moment of the photovoltaic string is abnormal or not.
And S130, calculating the current deviation rate corresponding to the abnormal moment of the photovoltaic string to be detected.
And after determining that the photovoltaic string to be detected is abnormal according to the lgLOF value, continuously calculating the current deviation rate corresponding to the abnormal moment of the photovoltaic string to be detected.
In one embodiment of the invention, after determining that the photovoltaic string to be detected is abnormal, acquiring a string current corresponding to the abnormal moment of the photovoltaic string to be detected; and calculating to obtain a current deviation rate according to the corresponding string current when the photovoltaic string to be detected is abnormal and the average value of the string current of the photovoltaic string to be detected at the same moment in the historical day.
In one possible implementation, the current deviation ratio is calculated as shown in equation 1:
BIAS ═ 100% (formula 1) (I1-I2)/I2)
In formula 1, BIAS is a current deviation rate, I1 is a string current corresponding to a time when a photovoltaic string to be detected is abnormal, and I2 is a string current average value corresponding to the same time on historical N days.
The N value is larger, the accuracy of the calculated current deviation rate is higher, and conversely, the accuracy of the calculated current deviation rate is lower when the N value is smaller. For example, N is set to 6, 12, 24, etc.
The same time refers to the same time as the abnormal time of the photovoltaic string to be detected in one day.
For example, the photovoltaic string to be detected is 14:00 out of 1 month and 10 daysWhen the current is abnormal, if N is 6, the string currents corresponding to the same time on the historical N days are the string currents I of the photovoltaic string to be detected 14:00 on 1 month, 4 days and 4 days respectively211 month, 5 days, 14:00 group current I221 month, 6 days, 14:00 group string current I231 month, 7 days, 14:00 group string current I241 month, 8 days, 14:00 group current I251 month, 9 days, 14:00 group current I26. Wherein I2 is I21、I22、I23、I24、I25、I26Average value of (a).
The larger the current deviation rate is, the more possible abnormality of the photovoltaic string exists; the smaller the current deviation rate, the more likely the photovoltaic string is to be normal.
And S140, if the photovoltaic string to be detected is determined to be abnormal according to the current deviation rate, calculating the total current deviation rate corresponding to the total current of each photovoltaic string connected with the confluence device connected with the photovoltaic string to be detected at the moment when the photovoltaic string to be detected is abnormal.
If the photovoltaic string to be detected is determined to be abnormal actually according to the deviation rate of the string current corresponding to the moment when the photovoltaic string to be detected is abnormal, the current deviation rate of the sum of the currents of all the branches in the junction device connected with the photovoltaic string to be detected, namely the total junction current deviation rate of the junction device, is continuously calculated.
The bus device is used for collecting the direct current of the photovoltaic group strings together and outputting the direct current to the inverter through a direct current bus. Each string of photovoltaic strings connected in a busbar arrangement is referred to as a branch.
The step is to calculate the deviation rate of the total current of the confluence device connected with the photovoltaic group string to be detected, and the deviation rate is called the total current deviation rate of confluence. Wherein the total current deviation rate of the bus is calculated in the same manner as the current deviation rate of the string current.
For example, the total current of the junction device where the photovoltaic string to be detected is located is obtained at the moment when the photovoltaic string to be detected is abnormal; then, the average value of the total current of the current collecting device at the same time in the historical N days is determined.
If the photovoltaic string to be detected is judged to be abnormal according to the current deviation rate of the photovoltaic string to be detected, whether the string current at the next moment of the photovoltaic string to be detected is abnormal is continuously judged, specifically, the set time window is translated backwards for a preset time length, namely, the string current data queue obtained based on the set time window is moved backwards for one bit of data, and then, whether the photovoltaic string to be detected is abnormal is continuously judged according to the moved string current data.
S150, if the total current deviation rate of the confluence is larger than a threshold value, determining that the photovoltaic string to be detected has a fault.
And if the deviation rate of the total current of the confluence is greater than the threshold value, determining that the photovoltaic string to be detected has a fault, and further, in order to enable maintenance personnel to eliminate the fault as soon as possible, sending alarm information after determining the photovoltaic string with the fault.
And if the deviation rate of the total current of the confluence is less than or equal to the threshold, determining that the photovoltaic string to be detected is normal, and not sending alarm information. And then, shifting the appointed time window backwards for a preset time, namely moving the string current data queue obtained based on the appointed time window backwards by one bit of data, and continuously judging whether the photovoltaic string to be detected is abnormal or not according to the moved string current data.
And S160, moving the appointed time window backwards for a preset time length. Then, execution returns to S120.
The preset duration may be a time interval at which the data acquisition device acquires the operating data of the photovoltaic string, for example, the data acquisition device acquires data every 1min, and then the time window may be translated backwards for 1 min. Namely, the designated time window is moved backwards by one bit of data, namely, the data with the earliest acquisition time is deleted, and the data corresponding to the next time of the latest time of the designated time window is added, so that the data in the designated time window is ensured to be in a preset number.
According to the photovoltaic string fault detection method provided by the invention, whether the photovoltaic string is abnormal or not is preliminarily judged by using the currents of the same photovoltaic string at different moments. If the photovoltaic string is judged to be abnormal preliminarily, calculating the current deviation rate of the photovoltaic string, and judging whether the photovoltaic string is abnormal or not according to the current deviation rate; and if the photovoltaic string is judged to be abnormal according to the current deviation rate, continuously calculating the total current deviation rate of the total current of the convergence devices connected with the whole photovoltaic string, and finally determining whether the photovoltaic string has a fault. The method utilizes the current of the same photovoltaic group string on a time sequence as a judgment basis, and reduces the false alarm rate of faults. Meanwhile, transient faults caused by weather factors (such as cloud layer shielding) can be effectively eliminated by using the current deviation rate as a fault judgment basis, and the fault detection accuracy rate is improved. Moreover, since the large-level current (such as the total current of the bus device) is the sum of the small-level currents (such as the string current), and is easily influenced by other factors, the fault detection speed can be increased by adopting the judgment sequence of the currents from small to large. Meanwhile, the accuracy of fault detection can be improved by adopting a mode of multiple detection from small to large of current.
Referring to fig. 4, a flowchart of another method for detecting a fault of a photovoltaic string according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown, where the embodiment further includes the following steps based on the embodiment shown in fig. 1:
and S210, when the number of the string currents of the photovoltaic string to be detected, which are collected in the appointed time window, is less than the preset number, increasing the duration of the appointed time window until the number of the string currents of the photovoltaic string to be detected, which are collected in the adjusted appointed time window, is equal to the preset number.
Before the method is executed, the time length of a specified time window needs to be set, then, the string current of the photovoltaic string to be detected in the specified time window is obtained, and the time length of the specified time window is set, considering that the accuracy of an outlier detection algorithm is low when the data volume is small, so that the time length of the specified time window needs to ensure that the specified time window contains a preset number of string currents.
And if the number of the group string currents contained in the set time window is smaller than the preset number, increasing the duration of the specified time window until the number of the group string currents contained in the specified time window reaches the preset number.
According to the photovoltaic string fault detection method provided by the embodiment, the current of the same photovoltaic string on a time sequence is used as a judgment basis, so that the false alarm rate of the fault is reduced. Meanwhile, transient faults caused by weather factors (such as cloud layer shielding) can be effectively eliminated by using the current deviation rate as a fault judgment basis, and the fault detection accuracy rate is improved. Moreover, since the large-level current (such as the total current of the bus device) is the sum of the small-level currents (such as the string current), and is easily influenced by other factors, the fault detection speed can be increased by adopting the judgment sequence of the currents from small to large. Meanwhile, the accuracy of fault detection can be improved by adopting a mode of multiple detection from small to large of current.

The time window translation module 220 is configured to, after it is determined that the to-be-detected photovoltaic string is normal in the designated time window, move the designated time window backward for a preset time duration, so that the number of string currents of the to-be-detected photovoltaic string that can be collected in the backward-translated designated time window is a preset number.
And the alarm module 230 is configured to output alarm information after determining that the photovoltaic string to be detected has a fault.
The photovoltaic string fault detection device provided by the invention utilizes the current of the same photovoltaic string at different moments to preliminarily judge whether the photovoltaic string is abnormal or not. If the photovoltaic string is judged to be abnormal preliminarily, calculating the current deviation rate of the photovoltaic string, and judging whether the photovoltaic string is abnormal or not according to the current deviation rate; and if the photovoltaic string is judged to be abnormal according to the current deviation rate, continuously calculating the total current deviation rate of the total current of the convergence devices connected with the whole photovoltaic string, and finally determining whether the photovoltaic string has a fault. The device utilizes the current of the same photovoltaic group string on a time sequence as a judgment basis, and reduces the false alarm rate of faults. Meanwhile, transient faults caused by weather factors (such as cloud layer shielding) can be effectively eliminated by using the current deviation rate as a fault judgment basis, and the fault detection accuracy rate is improved. Moreover, since the large-level current (such as the total current of the bus device) is the sum of the small-level currents (such as the string current), and is easily influenced by other factors, the fault detection speed can be increased by adopting the judgment sequence of the currents from small to large. Meanwhile, the accuracy of fault detection can be improved by adopting a mode of multiple detection from small to large of current.
